Since being founded in 1886 in Merzifon of Asia Minor, Anatolia College has been synonymous with quality education. Its long history and tumultuous past, ridden with uprooting and war, served as a forging tool for its spirit of giving back to the community.

As a private, non-for-profit educational institution based in Thessaloniki since 1923, Anatolia College is imbued with the highest ideals of Greek and American education. Today, it encompasses learning opportunities from Kindergarten to graduate levels. Known for excellence, innovative educational activities, high quality teaching, a liberal spirit and social contribution, Anatolia College has established itself as a nationally and internationally recognized educational center.

What We Do

Helping talented students unlock their full potential.

CTY Greece uses a twofold approach. First, we identify academic student talent through special testing. Then, we develop talent through time-tested courses that are tailored, challenging, enriching, and transformational. It all began with the pioneering work of Johns Hopkins’ psychologist Julian Stanley with gifted middle school prodigies. His work put the spotlight on exceptionally bright young people and their capacity and enthusiasm for academic challenges matched to their advanced abilities.

During its 2014 intensive 3-week residential program, 72% of the students attended on scholarship, thanks to the generous support of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation. 90 bright minds scouted from across Greece stayed at the Anatolia College dormitory, spending their days testing and applying their knowledge and expanding their horizons.

Anatolia College is an integrated academic community committed to developing students’ talents through innovative educational approaches and open inquiry within a culture of academic excellence. We instill a heightened sense of social responsibility, in an environment that nurtures the ethical, creative and physical development of young people.

20% of its student body is currently under scholarship, which covers up to 100% of tuition. Through its years of contribution, more than 1000 scholarships have been awarded based on economic need and merit.

As a non-profit organization, Anatolia College has always relied on donations in order to maintain its programs and facilities and, most importantly, to support students through scholarships.
